COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Bock beer is generally a very strong beer. Gösser bock beer is of a deep yellow colour, excels with a very complex aroma and a dominant smell of malt. The fresh, fruity taste is complemented by flavours that are reminiscent of gingerbread, spice and dark bread. The finish or final taste is strong and long-lasting. 16.2°

KyotoLefty (3480) - Kyoto, JAPAN - MAR 22, 2010
Tap at Bierklinic, Vienna. Light, golden bock. Slightly darker than average for the style. Quite sweet, with lots of malt and decent hops, and quite strong indeed. Bready, spicy and rich. Clean and full flavored. Slightly darker than average for the style. Some ways it seems similar to a Belgian tripel, but it’s definitely a lager type. Great stuff on tap. Not near as rich and malty when it came in the bottle, but still quite nice.

Marko (2977) - Split, CROATIA - JAN 7, 2008
0.5l bottle courtesy of and shared with heavy, who brought it from Austria (thanks!)
Poured a clear golden body with a medium sized thick white head. Weak but nice malty nose, a touch oily. The taste is nicely malty as well. Some all too ordinary but passable hoppy bitterness, some yeastiness and grain. Hoppy finish and aftertaste. Alcohol extremely well hidden. Not flashy, but a pleasant Austrian heller bock.

UPDATED: APR 30, 2008 Aroma is fruity , color is full golden. Pleasant malty with alcohol notes. Full and rich. Aftertaste with acid notes, long and light bitter (astringent). Pleasant on a cold day.

Bottled, Best before 3/2005, tryed 4/2008: Aroma with notes of oat, rye and honey. Some fruitiness in it. Hazy yellow color. Full flavor, intensive honey and complex malt notes with hints of oat an dsome alcohol. Pleasant, medium sweetness, followed by a refreshing sourly notes and a quite astringent, light bitter finish. 7/4/8/4/15 Very interesting vinetage bock.
